I don't know of any slums in my country. Some bad area's though...

Anyway I've always found this slum in Belgrade rather interesting:

As far as I'm informed, one of the most impressive slums in Europe, Cardboard City (Karton Siti) in Belgrade has been removed.

I think other biggest problem here in the brazilian slums is the garbages in the streets, lots and other empty spaces.
Facts that don't happen just in the slums and poor comunities, other sad point.
Translating directly, I talk about education just that. Simple environmental education and zeal with their land, forgotten feelings for some here.
Of course not include the communities where access to treatment of such wastes are not feasible due to the area where the drug traffickers dominate, results and examples from weak politics and years of negligence.
Weel in truth no just here in brazilian slums, hehe... but I think it's important, like in Chile poor communities and slums you don't see garbages a lot in streets, lots and others empty places.

And congratulations for the thread, really nice thread.

Urban, I'm a layperson on this forum, and I don't get why the Taranto, Puglia, and Valparaiso locations are considered slums. Perhaps it has to do with my idealizing the two locations since I have never had the pleasure to visit the respective countries. They look like neatly maintained working-class areas, except for that wall along the Taranto street that needs repainting. The streets appear clean, no trash is about nor graffiti or tagging of buildings.

Will you (or someone familiar with the areas) explain please?
Thank you.

wc eend · December 8th, 2012, 04:08 PM

I had the same questions in my mind. Valparaiso has a certain level of poverty and some ramshackle housing, but is defenenitely no slum. It's very beautiful and even enlistend as Unesco world heritage. As for Taranto: no idea.

This article has a good selection of Street Views from Bucharest's worst district, that of "Ferentari": http://vlad.ursulean.ro/cetateanul-g...-in-ferentari/

Some of the places are proper slum, but at the outskirts it's very rural. The district is home to the city's poorest, to the gypsy, but also to many "nouveau riche" villas too.

The street views are embeded so your browser might find it hard for a while, until everything is loaded.

I do not know why, but I always laugh with the name ''Rocinha''

I saw plenty of graffiti and some run-down looking streets and buildings in Valparaiso...it kind of reminded me of some parts of Mexican cities that I've seen. I'm sure Valparaiso has it's bad neighborhoods (what they would consider a "slum"), but of course they definitely don't look nearly as bad as a slum in say, Rio or Mumbai or something.

Candido · January 14th, 2013, 08:17 PM

I wonder why almost all that slums are so dirty.

Slums in Mumbai look bad or congested due to scarcity of land.The central mumbai is perhaps the densest city in the whole world.

BTW do you know that more than 70% of the tenants in those slums are literate and extremely skilled workers.Dharavi slum generates a revenue of about $500-650 million every year.And unlike other slums around the world slums in Mumbai are far safer.

Mexico City

Sometimes the houses in Mexican slums are already middle class but I don't know why people just don't like to paint their homes or have them clean in the outside, at least the majority of the slums in here have paved streets, electricity, clean tubed water(but sometimes not all the time), supermarkets, malls, public transportation, etc.
